Selling Larchmont Manor
This pair of maps on a single broadsheet promotes the upcoming auction of 67 villa plots and one dwelling in Larchmont Manor, Long Island, scheduled for May 11, 1910. The land for sale is from the subdivided estate of Thomas Kane.
Located in an upscale residential district of Westchester County, New York, these properties are detailed on a map highlighting their positions along Boston Post Road, Beach, Kane, Loretto, Linden, and Jochum Avenues. The event, managed by auctioneer Bryan L. Kennelly, will take place at the Exchange Salesroom at 14-16 Vesey Street in New York City.
The terms of sale for this auction include a required 10% down payment at the time of sale, with the option to finance the remaining balance through a bond and mortgage at a 5% annual interest rate for up to three years. The full payment must be completed by June 10, 1910. Additionally, a $5 fee per lot is charged to cover auction-related expenses and to ensure all properties are free of liens and encumbrances.
Larchmont Manor's development as a residential area started in the late 19th century, capitalizing on its scenic views along Long Island Sound and proximity to New York City, accessible via the electrified New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. By the early 20th century, it became a coveted location for affluent New Yorkers seeking suburban residences. The development featured large, stately homes and well-planned streets and avenues, with local amenities like schools, churches, and community facilities enhancing its appeal.
